<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<p>The &xep0060; extension to XMPP provides a comprehensive technology for alerts, notifications, data syndication, rich presence, and other real-time messaging use cases. In terms of traditional publish-subscribe systems like Java Message Service (JMS), the core XMPP PubSub specification covers the Observer design pattern only; however, traditional publish-subscribe systems often include support for a second design pattern, usually called the "point-to-point" or "queueing" pattern. <note>See for instance <<link url='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Message_Service'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Message_Service</link>>.</note> This specification defines a few small extensions to XMPP PubSub that enable support for a queueing mode in XMPP. The queueing mode is an add-on feature that a service can support, and that a node owner can enable if supported by the service. The feature name is "urn:xmpp:pubsub:queueing:0".</p>

<section1 topic='How It Works' anchor='howitworks'>
|
|
<section2 topic='Subscribing' anchor='subscribe'>
|
|
<p>If a node has enabled support for the queueing mode, in response to a subscription request without configuration options it MUST return an IQ-error containing a subscription options form; this form MUST include the "queue_requests" field (which specifies the number of parallel requests a subscriber is willing to process).</p>

<p>In the context of a queue node, the service MUST treat a delete request from a subscriber that received the item as if the sender were a publisher; i.e., it MUST delete the item from the queue and notify only this subscriber that the item has been deleted.</p>

</section1>

|
|
<section1 topic='Implementation Notes' anchor='impl'>
|
|
<p>If the service receives unavailable presence from a subscriber, it SHOULD unlock all outstanding queue items associated with the subscriber and unsubscribe the subscriber to prevent delivery of further publish notifications.</p>
|
|
<p>If a subscriber cannot process queue items because of an unrecoverable error (e.g., disk full), the subscriber SHOULD unsubscribe and then unlock all of its outstanding queue items.</p>
|
|
<p>If the service does not receive a delete or unlock request from a subscriber that received a queue item in a configurable amount of time, it SHOULD timeout the request, send an unlock notification to the subscriber, and send a publish notification to the "next" subscriber.</p>
